2003: The source code for Homeworld 1 is made available with the release of Homeworld 2. A small but dedicated community of fans starts an effort to port it to SDL. The original goal was a port to MacOS, but later also enabled native versions for Linux, and more recently, web browsers. The project is named "Homeworld SDL".

2012: Homeworld SDL's source code is saved to GitHub.
-
2016: Efforts on Homeworld SDL have died off, the website goes dark.

2019: The project is picked up from the 2012 GitHub export (last publicly available copy of the code) by a couple of volunteers. They decide to rename the project "Gardens of Kadesh" after Mission 07 of the single-player campaign.
